Where to park and charge cars when visiting Harrogate Convention Centre

The Convention Centre has its own car park with around 158 spaces and a number of spaces for Blue Badge holders. The entrance is on Springfield Avenue and perfect for events using Entrances 1, 2 and 3.

You will also find another 1200 spaces at Jubilee and Victoria car parks in the centre of Harrogate and just a few minutes’ walk from the Convention Centre and Royal Hall.

Jubilee car park is the closest at just three minutes' walk from Entrance 4 (Hall M), Royal Hall and Entrance 5 (Hall A).

Walking from Victoria Car Park next to the Railway Station will take around ten minutes' to Entrances 4, 5 and Royal Hall or twelve minutes' from West Park Car Park.

If you’re attending a large fair or exhibition, there may be a Park & Ride service or shuttle bus in operation. These services are provided by the organisers of each event and we recommend checking the website for your event for details. (please note these websites are external to Harrogate Convention Centre and we are not responsible for their content).

If you are an exhibitor working at a public/trade exhibition within the venue and have any specific disabled accessible needs, please call our reception team on 01423 500500 to discuss your individual requirements and we will work with you to find the best solution to ensure your needs are met.

We also have a 180-space car park specifically for contractors on Dragon Road.

Social media, photography and filming policy

The Society welcomes the use of social media at all its events, and delegates are encouraged to tweet about this year’s SfE BES conference using the hashtag #SfEBES2022.
However, we ask that anyone who wishes to post a speaker’s scientific results online, or through other forms of media, ensures that they have first gained approval from the speaker/poster-presenter. This policy applies to both professional journalists and nonjournalists.
All speakers/poster presenters have the right to ask delegates not to
disseminate the research that they have presented.

Photography and filming

Please refrain from filming or taking photographs of any session, poster or exhibit without the prior consent of the speaker, poster presenter or exhibitor. Any official footage or photographs were taken at the Conference may be used by the Society for Endocrinology for promotional purposes. In addition, the meeting organiser Bioscientifica will be conducting filming for promotional
purposes. Footage will be time-lapsed and no individuals will be identifiable. If you have any queries about this policy, please visit the registration desk onsite.

Children (anyone under the age of 18 years) are not permitted in the exhibition hall at any time.

• Because of limited seating capacity, the nature of the programme content and to avoid distracting/interrupting speakers or other delegates, children are not allowed to attend any presentations in the scientific programme or industry-sponsored satellite symposia.
  
  
• In all other areas of the event, children are allowed and breastfeeding is welcomed.
  
  
• Where catering is only available in the exhibition hall and you have a child with you, please speak to a member of the Society Events Team, either via registration or the Organisers Office, and catering and refreshments will be provided for you in an alternative area
